Updated CCDICT flatfile available for download

[David Givens]

Thomas,

I first went to http://wave.prohosting.com/ccdict. When I click on this link I am taken to http://wave.prohosting.com/ccdict/ccdict-4.9.9.zip. This page has a "Free ProHosting" banner and instructions "To continue downloading this file, please click the link below". The link only goes back to the same page, so I cannot download the file. Do I have to be a member to get to the file?

What should I do?

I greatly appreciate your help.

David

I tested the download and did not encounter any problems.

Am I missing something?

Hi Thomas,

I've downloaded ccdict.txt using your link http://wave.prohosting.com/ccdict , but I'm having problems seeing the Chinese characters.

when I open ccdict.txt using say, IE6, I see the following even though I use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding.

Hi,

The first column of the data is the character code in plain text. You need to convert that to the corresponding codepoint. The remainder of the data is in UTF-8 format.

I'll post a modified version which has the complete file in UTF-8 so that you can view the data directly in a word processor.

Give me a few days,

Regards,

Thomas

Thomas:

I finally figured out the problem downloading the ccdict files. My firewall was blocking me. When I temporarily disabled my firewall, I had no trouble.

Many thanks,

David Givens

Glad to hear that you resolved the problem with downloading.

Good luck with the rest!

Dear all,

An updated CCDICT flatfile v5 with minor changes is available in the usual download section.

Changes
-Corrected order of pronunciations for Mandarin and Cantonese. The last version contained the pronunciations in reverse order due to an unnoticed scripting error.
-Added CNS11643 codes for CNS11643 planes 10 and 11.
-General corrections.

Regards,

Thomas Chin
